Aries

It's time to transform the expectations you have around sharing. Just because it's chilly and your bestie has a cardigan doesn't mean she has lend it to you. What's messed up is that you're always ultra generous--perhaps it's time to consider whether you're being appreciated.

Taurus

Your partners are super moody today, and working anything out with them will feel next to impossible. You'll have difficulty seeing eye-to-eye with others, so avoid any major arguments that could result in breakups.

Gemini

Your whole schedule could get turned on its head today, so don't plan anything too firm. That said, a change in routine is always nice, no? You may not receive positive feedback on any important messages you send today, so be careful with communication.

Cancer

Grappling with your money situation has you rethinking how you have fun (including dating). Today, you'll have to say no to having a good time… unless, you're prepared to say no to affording rent?

Leo

Major shakeups have been happening on the home front, and today you might have a major clash. But maybe that's a good thing? An explosive fight could become an opportunity to show what you're really all about, resulting in a happy ending.

Virgo

The people with whom you've been having a hard time communicating will really piss you off today. I mean, who doesn't have their phone by them 24/7 in this day and age? Move slowly in resolving any frustrations--don't shoot yourself in the foot.

Libra

What do you do, Libra, when you're invited to a White Party but all your clothes are black? You're usually willing to compromise, but today, not so much. Pay attention to the dissonance between what the crew expects of you versus what you actually find valuable.

Scorpio

The Moon is in your sign today, Scorpio! And the world is feeling your intensity. Stand your ground today--you're not afraid of saying no, are you? Be mindful of your personal boundaries: The spotlight's on you, but that doesn't mean the world can have all of you!

Sagittarius

Don't play hooky or sneak away from your responsibilities today. And especially don't play dumb--it won't work. You can't spend all your days bragging about how intelligent you are and then expect to get away with acting unassuming!

Capricorn

You've been figuring out who your real friends are, Capricorn, and today things could get tricky. Don't judge someone's loyalty or value in your life by what they can offer you--instead, take note of how willing they are to respect your boundaries.

Aquarius

Relationships interacting with your career or your reputation has been a theme in your life for a while; today, there could be some major friction around this area of your life. Keep in mind that true partners want you to succeed.

Pisces

Today there could be quite a few roadblocks around going places, seeing things, or learning new things. Don't let this irritate you: Try to take pleasure in the mundane, sort your belongings, and clear out your space so that when the right time comes, you can go.
